Question 1103: BAND Baaja aur baaraat

This monument in X was erected over the grave of the Y of X, an elite force comprising of 150 male couples (the logic being that lovers would fight more fiercely than strangers). The Y of X met their destruction at the hands of Z, who upon seeing their bodies, is said to have remarked, "Perish any man who suspects that these men either did or suffered anything unseemly."

Id X, Y, Z.

Answer:X: Thebes
Y: Sacred Band of Thebes
Z: Philip II of Macedon.
